Sadie is an arson investigator in Colorado. Who knew it was such a dangerous job? Her handler tells of falling through floors and stepping on boards that have nails still in them.
Handler Jerry Meese is pretty funny! Sadie just laid down on stage, and he commented that she was a “hard-working state employee”.
The show is co-sponsored by the American Humane Association and Caesar Cuisine.
Congratulations to Sadie and Jerry!
Nice to see so many celebs coming out for the dogs. So far, Betty White, Peter Fonda, Pauley Perrette (follow her on Twitter @PauleyP if you’re not already – she’s a big dog rescuer!)
I’m sorry – I love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but Carson Kressley just isn’t tickling my funny bone as host.
First category for the awards: Arson & Law Enforcement Dogs.
Sorry – should have posted this earlier in the day, but was busy getting ready a big dinner for my best friend’s daughter who is home on a weekend pass from Advanced Infantry Training (the school after basic training). She just found out she will be posted to Kuwait when she finished training. Accepting prayers now! I’m so proud of her!
And I do want to thank all of our vets – both 2-legged and 4-legged – for their service!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

If this is how the dog reacts to Julia Roberts’ picture, I’d hate to see how he’d react to her movies!
A stray dog named Ace, after the store he was found near, is going to be killed.
Why? “Ace is considered unadoptable because he is a pit bull.”
You can follow the story on the Facebook page (now with more than 12,000 likes) for the Detroit Dog Rescue and Save Ace campaign, and read the full story from the Oakland Press by Karen Workman here.
I can think of soooooo many times that I wished I had my camera rolling, can’t you????
An interesting new study out of Mendel University in the Czech Republic, which is set to appear in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, examines various factors that can affect a dog’s level of aggression toward other dogs while being walked.
The study spearheaded by Petr Řezάč, an associate professor in the Department of Animal Morphology, Physiology and Genetics, found that a dog’s age and gender can affect his or her inclination to threaten another dog. More surprisingly, by observing 1,870 dogs in 30 different public places in the city of Brno from May to September of 2009, the study also found that the sex of the person walking the dog and whether the dog is on a leash has an affect on the dog’s likelihood to attack or threaten another dog.
So what do you think of this study? We’d love to hear your opinion/experiences in the comments below!
